What is your course of academic study?

[GodIsAll]

Looking at the poll regarding occupation, I see the biggest number of forum members are students.

That being said: What is everyone studying and what do they plan to do with said degree?

[ardianto]

I studied in economic - business management.

Now, I am a small businessman.

[Who Am I?]

I have a BA in history. I am considering going back to school for a master's degree.

Studying political and cultural studies...not sure what I want to do yet.

Not yet. I have 4 years left to decide that. There are so many branches that I am intrested in, so there will be a very hard decision.;D

Now, I am a small businessman.

What is your business, if I may be so bold?

[Periwinkle18]

ive done my A'levels n am working in a skool am thinking of doing my B.A privately and then masters inshaAllah

[ardianto]

What is your business, if I may be so bold?

Just a small business, an agent of a courier company. I also become an internet marketer.

But I have very valuable experience, fell into bankruptcy in my first business, and later fell into depression for years. Alhamdulillah, I could rise again, step-by-step. :)

My wife and I were discussing this last night. Isn't that the way of things? Those who haven't failed or haven't struggled are the ones that never experience life.

How can one know success or victory without having known defeat and humiliation?

God is good...everything, though we often cannot see it at the moment, is a blessing.

My wife completes her doctorate this summer, then I am going to finish up mine...I am trying so hard to be enthusiastic about going back to U.

Praying for strength!:)

I can relate to this. I am thinking about going back to school at the encouragement of some people in my life, but I haven't set foot inside a classroom since 1999. I'm not really thrilled about it, to be honest...

I have uhm, no education... I passed nothing. But Allah has shown me HIS kindness so I am eternally thankful to my Lord the Cherisher of the Worlds, Ameen.

With no education, I've held some pretty good jobs in the past, alhamdulillah, And all because HE made it happen, HE literally paved the way for me. Long story, but... yes, I am thankful.

I believe God sets out a path for all of us. Some of them require a bunch of schooling, some don't.
You're doing God's will and following his path...there is nothing more noble in the human experience.

[FindMeAMosque]

I've done a degree in computer science BSc(Hons) and am now a professional software engineer. Allah has given me so much, yet we still do not appreciate this as much as we should.

Anyways, I always pray to Allah to give me more knowledge and confidence, no matter how much I already know.

I think that's one thing that is missing from Muslim countries, research and development in science and technology. It used to be highly sought, but somehow declined. Sad.

Not gonna say specifically what, but I'm almost done with a bachelors degree and have the option(because of my grades) to complete a masters program in just 1 year. Not sure though because the masters requires A LOT of writing... not sure I'm intelligent enough for that lol

i HAVE to return to school... I'm probably not going to finish in english... though i'm so close to it... english and russian.... for that matter. I want to get my degree in psych... oddly enough it was what i had first started the uni. in, however i changed after a neuro psych course ... ( long story.. ) and then switched to english... and then added russian..


i should have stuck w/ psych.

I should have done something after i was assaulted to keep myself there, instead of leaving...

as it stands I won't have any family support even though i live w/ family...

it won't be easy....
at all
but if i can just figure out how to get back in, at least i'll enjoy the learning part.

Alhamdulillah,I'm studying Aerospace Engineering in UK,after I finished I'm planning to do a Master Degree to become and Aeronautical Engineer,which is a person that design and makes new aircrafts Inshallah.
Medicine is another subject that I really like,it might sound strange but I would like inshallah to have a degree in that subject.

I'm on the last year of Aerospace engineering and yes I know,it takes a lot of years,but my desire to obtain that knowledge is not for this world is for myself.

I'm not being selfish or arrogant with this statement, but try to think about,having the knowledge of an engineer,who creates new thing for the people of this world thanks to HIM is something that will only motivates me to get closer to Him and thank Him for all the things we have developed and made.
And with the knowledge of a doctor,I will be able to know and completely understand how perfect is our body thanks to Him the only one who create us.

Inshallah,only Allah can help me to reach this goal and I know I can do it if I want.

medicine is boring. (sorry i said that) . It is however very beneficial if used right. nowadays it's more a means of earning, but i htink if people aimed to help people, discover cures, etc, it would be better.
aeronautical engineering seems so much more interesting and muslim aeronautical engineers are needed. nowadays people are dependent on nonmuslim countries for planes and technology. i beleive every community should be self-sufficient and not dependent on another.

[KDhieb]

Majoring in management.. planning to switch to accounting though because I seem to find it a lot more interesting..

I am getting my BA in Sociology, and then plan to get my Master's in Clinical Social Work so I can become a therapist, in particular a child therapist. I would like to get my PhD so I can be a Professor one day! We will see how that goes, lol. My minor is Religious Studies, and I just minored in that for fun. Politics and religion are my passion, so I figured why not minor in Religious Studies!

[GuestFellow]

^ Freud Theory is hilarious. :/

[Muhaba]

do what you are interested, take the classes you like, starting early, in high school. study subjects related to your line of study. for example those who want to do MBA should take introduction to business, management, etc in high school if their high school offers them.

focus on subjects that you're interested in since this is going to be your career and you'll be working with it much of the day. i knew in high school that i wanted to be an accountant and a writer so studied subjects related to both.

[introspective]

Completed a degree in Polymer & Color Chemistry in 2010.

Sent a few job applications and became undecided about going into corporate R&D at the time.

Just started a [non-thesis] Master's of Physiology last August and will hopefully complete it in the spring of 2013.

On the fence about applying to optometry school or applying for R&D related jobs and/or learn about computer networking.

This is a good idea - maybe IB should consider having on-line islamic courses for its members, insha Allah : )

[GuestFellow]

If I have the time, I will be pursing a degree in Economics and Mathematics at London University External.

I was studying towards a degree in Mathematics at OU BUT it's too expensive.

Wonder how I will be able to combine my accountancy and degree exams...

I'm a law student. I finished uni in may time (2012) but I failed one of my exams and then retook it, yet failed it again. It's going to be my last chance in april/may 2013 :( I want to become a solicitor Insha'Allah. Remember me in your blessed duas. Jazak'Allah :)

Most law students really struggle to become a Solicitor. I previously worked in the legal field as a Paralegal and it is so competitive. I think you should avoid it like plague unless you have a training contract in place before you commence your LPC. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. It would be terrible if you complete your LPC but unable to qualify.

LPC should not be too difficult. It's actually quite straightforward if you are able to cope with a Law Degree. I understand there is a lot of information to learn.

You should seriously consider a different career path. Firms are simply not recruitment as much as they used to. You are going to face so many rejections, unless you have experience.

If you have experience working in a law firm, then I believe you will have a chance. Six months experience should be sufficient, along with good grades.

Not trying to put you off, but something for you to consider before you commence on your LPC.

I have completed my studies. My academic course was related to It field. I am now It professional and teaching in American university as visiting teacher.

[greenhill]

I graduated in Business & Management, majoring in Marketing in 1989. Theoretically very useful but practically not very applicable. What was learnt were exceptional circumstances and situations that paved the way for the successful stories of leading industrialists of today. We cannot follow them as the situation is different an opportunities are extremely rare.

Having the basics has helped and I have found that education, up to to point really helps in report writing and paperwork stuff. Lack of it really slows down the administrative process but not necessarily relevant in field work.

Anyway, I started my working life in the sales sector, then moved to marketing before entering the management... Tough handling people!:exhausted

[Muhaba]

It was accounting along with some courses in journalism and creative writing. Then I studied Islamic banking and Islamic economics with a major in Islamic banking. Worked in management and saw that I absolutely love it - it's very interesting - so now am taking some courses in Business management and then I might do CMA.
